northeast winds - willie mcbride كلمات أغنية

[spoken]
in flanders fields, poppies blow
between the crosses, row on row, that mark our spot
and in the sky, the larks, still bravely singing, fly
scarce heard amid the guns below
we are the dead
short days ago, we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
now we lie, in flanders fields

[sung]
well, good morning to you, private william mcbride
do you mind if i rest here down by your graveside
and sit for awhile in the warm summer sun?
i’ve been walkin’ all day, sure i’m nearly done
and i see by your gravestone you’re only nineteen
when you joined the great callin’ in 1916
oh, i hope you died well; well, i hope you died clean
oh william mcbride, was it slow or obscene?

did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly?
did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
did the band play the last post and chorus?
did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?

and did you leave there a wife or a sweetheart behind
now in some faithful heart is your memory enshrined?
or did you die back in 1916?
now in that faithful heart are you forever nineteen?
or are you a stranger without even a name
enclosed there forever inside a glass frame
just an old photograph, all battered and stained
and fading to yellow in a brown leather frame?
did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly?
did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
did the band play the last post and chorus?
did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?

now see how the sun shines on the green fields of france
’cause there’s a warm summer breeze makes the red poppies dance
and see how the sun shines from under the clouds
there’s no gas, no barbed wire, there’s no gunfire here now
but here in this graveyard, it’s still no man’s land
and the countless white crosses in mute witness stand
to a man’s blind indifference to his fellow men
to a whole generation that were butchered and d_mned

now willie mcbride, i can’t help wonderin’ why
all them that lies here, tell me, why did they die?
did they really believe when they answered the call?
now did they really believe that this war would end wars?
for the k!lling, all the dying, all the fighting, all the pain
the battles and the glory, oh, they all were in vain
but to willie mcbride it all happened again
and again, and again, and again and again
did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly?
did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
did the band play the last post and chorus?
did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?
